Bike Black
Masked Bicyclist-bike Phantom
by Kurt DuNard The Exceptional Life Coach
Believe it or not, according to Portland, OR’s largest newspaper The Oregonian, there are numerous reports of a masked bicyclist all dressed in black with a black bicycle doing good deeds. The reports of this person first started to appear on bicycle blogs and forums. They say that this superhero appears out of the dark helping people in distress. It is almost as if he is where he needs to be before actually being needed. The Bike Phantom has fixed flat tires, protected women from street drunks who were hooting at them, and has given general help where needed. When asked his name, he only smiles and rides away. Police have denied any knowledge of the Bike Phantom and will not admit that they are working with him.
Back in 1929 Lloyd C. Douglas wrote the novel Magnificent Obsession. It later became a blockbuster motion picture. In the story, the reader is told about a man who devotes his life to helping others anonymously. Those that do find out that he helped must agree to complete secrecy regarding his actions of help. Also, they must agree to help others anonymously. The main character becomes more and more powerful and wealthy always helping more and more people anonymously. One is given the idea that his power and wealth somehow comes about because it is used anonymously to help people.
There is a bumper sticker one sees from time to time that reads: Practice Random Acts of Kindness & Senseless Acts of Beauty. Does it make it better if we do this anonymously while wearing a mask? Perhaps.
I don’t know if you will become rich if you help people anonymously. But I do know that you will build up your self esteem. You will receive a little shot of endorphins that will make you happy. You will become more optimistic and more positive about the world. Your mind will start to be focused on others instead of yourself. In essence, your personality will become the personality of a winner and a leader. You will come closer and closer to a happy exceptional life. If that is important, then I recommend helping people anonymously. Help a worthy person get a job by giving an unsolicited recommendation. Send life changing books to nieces, nephews, and friends anonymously. Volunteer to help, but keep a low profile.
I understand there are now reports of the Bike Phantom in New York City, Los Angeles, CA, and Bucksnort, TN.
